The one thing I've been doing more this year is cooking. I usually don't have time to cook. But with everything closed or limited, I've learned to make some Chinese and Korean dishes. Below is Chinese stir fry rice cakes.

School is open and fall is here (almost) making it the best time to go apple picking in NJ. Because many NJ apple picking farms offer more than just apples-think hayrides, cider tastings, and lots of donuts ( yum)-there are so many ways your family can celebrate the delicious fall fruit. And it's even better this fall because apple picking in New Jersey is a great socially distant outdoor activity. If you plan to go, click on the farm's website for the latest COVID-19 updates and social distancing guidelines as well as their picking schedules (which vary with each farm). Want more fall fun? Check out NJMOM's Pumpkin Picking Guide and Family-Friendly Farms to Visit This Fall for ones near you.
